All staff were very courteous & helpful. Breakfast choices were lovely and well cooked & hot. Hotel in good central position

The Vines used to be a 5 star resort but definitely not any more. The restaurant and cocktail bar have now closed so only option to eat is in the bar/cafe. Used to be 36 holes of golf. Only 18 holes now open - one nine is closed and the other not being maintained. Great shame.

Great place to stay

Room is tired; bathroom is odd with the sinks in the main room; service at the rooftop patio was poor; location in a bit of a rough neighbourhood. Definitely nowhere near a 5 star hotel.

First of all, the location was excellent. Conveniently located between Kings Park and the Elizabeth Quay and CBD. We walked pretty much everywhere and only used our car a few days. Unfortunately, the Wifi was terrible, painfully slow and intermittant. My wife and I depend on internet access for our jobs, so we ended up having to hot spot our phones and use cellular data instead. Improving Wifi should be a top priority for the property managers. Other than that, the one bedroom apartment was simple, but clean. The bed was comfortable, and the only other issue was the fan above the stove didn't work. Once they improve the Wifi, it will be hard to beat this location.

I know the desired "vibe" is that of a cozy, quaint accommodation, but I would rather have less cozy and more comfort and convenience. There's no mini fridge, and our room had only one chair. There was only a bar along the wall to hang clothes. The bathroom was quite large. I'd rather have less bathroom and more room. An upgrade was suggested at check-in for a room with a balcony, but as I saw from the outside, the balconies were tiny and IMO not worth the extra $. I have stayed in many hotels and motels, and I have never been charged for a continental breakfast. For $20+, the charge seemed way out of line - especially for such a limited selection. Having said all that, I really liked the sitting/lounge area. The access to a variety of complimentary beverages was much appreciated. The staff were very pleasant, and the location is very convenient for transportation and eats. It's a short walk to the CBD. As much as it seems I have complained, we did enjoy our stay. Still though, it wouldn't take much to make it an exceptional hotel. Make the rooms more accommodating - add a chair. Add a minifridge. Put in an armoire. Provide a complimentary continental breakfast. Really... those are little things that would make a big difference.

Room was clean and tidy. We were on ground floor - would definitely request not to stay on ground floor, every 5-10 minutes you could hear water coming down the pipes for at least 10 seconds. Was only there for one night, would have requested to move if staying any longer.
